What year is your car? and what camshaft have you decided on?
If its a 98-00 you may want to look into an LS6 oil pump as well as a timing chain. Double rollers aren't neccessary, I used the LS2 timing chain when I did my cam and it cost me ~32$ from SDPC, but yet is still beefier and stronger than the stock one.
Other than that ... I can't think of anything else you'd need.

I did the 224/224 114 this past weekend, and it runs almost like stock. You would have to know something about cars to know it was even camed. 
You don't "NEED" the oil pump, and timing chain, they are just highly recomended. The project is more expensive than it seems at first. You'll have to include the cost of tools you'll need to buy, some coolant and 2 oil changes, etc.... Paying somebody to install is even more expensive.
I would recomend you save up and do it right the first time. It's your car, so only you know what piece of mind is worth for it.
Good luck on your build!!
